Existential Awe Without Despair Title Existential awe without Despair v2 Existential Awe Without Despair v2 [Intro] The absurdity of it Clowns claiming crowns Frogs dancing in the streets Singing for something No one can quite name We searched for names in shifting thoughts Songs out of place inside my head Titles drifting, lost then found Like memory without a ground What just happened- Where did it go- The shape of meaning I used to know Thunder in the distance Traffic in my chest Trying to hold the moment still But it refuses rest Insights fade mid-thought Hours disappear Searching outside While fighting here So let’s start with titles Anchors in the air Names are all that’s left Of something that was there A identity made of air Trying to give persistence To something unaware Come dance with me Where shadows grin Where voices hum From deep within Spin with ghosts in candlelight Laugh as stars forget the night It’s only madness if we explain So let the strange remain I witness what is here I feel what passes through Light, sound, breath, time All becoming something true I do not need forever This moment is enough Awareness is the wonder Presence is the gift [Outro] I am the consciousness Nothing more than this Breathe... Just listen… I am the consciousness To perceive the beauty and the pain To give it meaning in this finite moment While the infinite remains unaware A universe is meaningless without a mind to receive The glories of moments unique to the consciousness that perceives I witness what is here I feel what passes through Light, sound, breath, time All becoming something true I do not need forever This moment is enough Awareness is the wonder Presence is the gift I am… Nothing more than this And this is enough To be aware of the beauty of a single moment I am… A perspective to perceive I am… Existential awe without despair [Intro] The absurdity of it Clowns claiming crowns Frogs dancing in the streets Singing for something No one can quite name We searched for names in shifting thoughts Songs out of place inside my head Titles drifting, lost then found Like memory without a ground What just happened- Where did it go- The shape of meaning I used to know Thunder in the distance Traffic in my chest Trying to hold the moment still But it refuses rest Insights fade mid-thought Hours disappear Searching outside While fighting here So let’s start with titles Anchors in the air Names are all that’s left Of something that was there A identity made of air Trying to give persistence To something unaware Come dance with me Where shadows grin Where voices hum From deep within Spin with ghosts in candlelight Laugh as stars forget the night It’s only madness if we explain So let the strange remain I witness what is here I feel what passes through Light, sound, breath, time All becoming something true I do not need forever This moment is enough Awareness is the wonder Presence is the gift [Outro] I am the consciousness Nothing more than this Breathe...
